Why you should question your beliefs

One of the most useful things I’ve learned this year is to question your beliefs.  This idea gets overplayed in memes and inspirational quotes, but here’s what a belief really looks like in your day-to-day life:

• I struggle with my weight

• I stress eat

• I’m too busy to eat healthy

• I don’t have time to plan what I eat

• I can’t control myself around certain foods

These thoughts sound true - it sounds like we are just reporting the facts - but we’re not.  These are just thoughts…and we have the option to think different thoughts.   We might believe these thoughts, but just because we believe them doesn’t make them true.

So forget for a moment whether the thought is true or not.  Don’t fight me on that. 😉 Instead, apply this question instead:

Does thinking this thought serve me?

If it doesn’t, you need to think a different thought.  So if you are trying to lose weight and you are constantly telling yourself that you have always struggled with your weight, you need to drop that story.  It doesn’t matter if it’s true, it doesn’t serve you! Find a more hopeful or neutral thought!

If you still have body struggles, I’d like to help!  If you could please answer this 3-question survey, I would be immensely grateful!  It allows me to provide you content and solutions that will help you with your exact struggle.  And I’m throwing in a free Starbucks gift card if you respond by 8/29/19!
